Because that product didn't have the original SOE source code, they made their own just like p1999 devs.

"For whatever reason a developer has handed out the source code. The way it was given has errors in the code and is unplayable. I managed to repair several files so it can at least compile and allow a few people to log in. I do have the database files for items, NPCs, tradeskills, accounts etc." dated Nov 1 2013

Its irrelevant because we have seen it before?

That code is nothing new.

We do know how to get our hands on stuff too

I think the 5% was added much later.

Otherwise you'd have many reports of Avatar of War's 1154 max hit being slightly lower on warriors outside defensive, which it wasn't.

I don't think it was supposed to be a hard 5% reduction. Probably just affected the skewness of the hit distribution.

Per google, it looks like at some point they their interval changed from 1-20 to .95-19. It's possible I'm confusing that, but I believe I quit before it came to be a hard reduction.

Anyone try just asking Hobart yet that has a good enough relationship with him? I understand he has a pretty strong record of bro'ing down with people.

The thing is, even with that formula we'd be doing the same thing we are now... tweaking ac/atk to make it match.

One thing is for sure though, it would probably fix the AC issues in PvP here if we did have it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I've posted about the 5% mitigation bonus before. It was in 2003 and was an additive bonus that coincided with bumping down defensive to a 45%. The net effect being a buff to non-discipline tanking while keeping discipline tanking the same.

If you're talking about skewing the distribution of DIs, you might be thinking about AAs here.
